For the past 23 years, Conli has been a producer for Walt Disney Animation Studios, which included a three-year stint running the company’s Paris studio. He served as co-producer on “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” (1996) and producer on the Academy Award-nominated “Treasure Planet” (2002) and “Tangled” (2010).

He won an Academy Award for the animated adventure “Big Hero 6” in 2015.

Before he arrived at Disney, he ran production for new play development at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles, where he helped produce the first full production of Tony Kushner’s award-winning “Angels in America” and was part of a small but mighty team that reopened the legendary Pasadena Playhouse.

Conli graduated with a bachelor’s degree in drama and says the university was an “amazing place for a young man who did not come from a wealthy family to get a great education.”
